No. 0875S.01I Bill No. SB 110 Page 3 of January 23, 2023 KC:LR:OD FISCAL ANALYSIS ASSUMPTION Section 36.050.5 – Personnel Advisory Board Officials from the Office of Administration (OA) state this section specifies each public member of the board shall be paid an amount for each day devoted to the work of the board. The total expenditures for the two public members appointed to the Personnel Advisory Board were payments of $5,040, $5,308, and $3,455 in FY2020, FY2021, and FY2022, respectively. The elimination of the Personnel Advisory Board will eliminate these payments and therefore have a positive fiscal impact. The FY2023 per diem for a public member of the board members is $356.97. If there were twelve meetings held, $4,283.64 would be paid out to each of the two public board members – a total of $8,567 projected annual savings. Additionally, while this proposal does not eliminate any FTE, this legislation would obviate the need for numerous team members to spend hours preparing for and attending monthly Personnel Advisory Board meetings saving additional state resource Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect an annual cost avoidance to the General Revenue Fund of $8,567. Officials from the Department of Commerce and Insurance, the Department of Economic Development, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, the Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development, the Department of Health and Senior ServicesDepartment of Natural Resources, the Department of Corrections the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, the Department of Revenue the Department of Public Safety (Office of the Director Capitol Police, Alcohol & Tobacco Control, Fire Safety, Gaming Commission, Missouri Highway Patrol, Missouri National Guard, State Emergency Management Agency and Veterans Commission the Department of Social Services, the Office of the Governor, the Joint Committee on Public Employee Retirement, the Missouri Lottery Commission, the Missouri Consolidated Health Care Plan, the Department of Agriculture, the Missouri Department of Conservation, the Missouri Ethics Commission, the Missouri House of Representatives the Department of Transportation, the Office of Prosecution Services, the Office of Administration (Administrative Hearing Commission), the Office of the State Courts Administrator, the Office of the State Auditor, the Missouri Senate the Office of the State Public Defender the and theeach assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their respective organizations. L.R. No. 0875S.01I Bill No. SB 110 Page 4 of January 23, 2023 KC:LR:OD Oversight notes that the above mentioned agencies have stated the proposal would not have a direct fiscal impact on their organization. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact on the fiscal note for these agencies. Officials from the Department of Mental Health defer to the Office of Administration for the potential fiscal impact of this proposal. Rule Promulgation Officials from the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules assume this proposal is not anticipated to cause a fiscal impact beyond its current appropriation. Officials from the Office of the Secretary of State (SOS) note many bills considered by the General Assembly include provisions allowing or requiring agencies to submit rules and regulations to implement the act. The SOS is provided with core funding to handle a certain amount of normal activity resulting from each year's legislative session. The fiscal impact for this fiscal note to the SOS for Administrative Rules is less than $5,000. The SOS recognizes that this is a small amount and does not expect that additional funding would be required to meet these costs. However, the SOS also recognizes that many such bills may be passed by the General Assembly in a given year and that collectively the costs may be in excess of what the office can sustain with its core budget. Therefore, the SOS reserves the right to request funding for the cost of supporting administrative rules requirements should the need arise based on a review of the finally approved bills signed by the governor.
